1Jakob mah khet tahang naah, kami cumvai palito hoi nanwto angzo Esau to hnuk. To pongah nawktanawk to tapraek moe, Leah, Rachel hoi a tamna nongpata hnik khaeah a paek.
1And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2A tamna nongpata hnik hoi a caanawk to hmaloe ah a caehsak, to pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk to caehsak moe, hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to caehsak.
2And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3Angmah to hmahmanh moe, amya khaeah a phak naah, a hmaa ah long ah vai sarihto akuep pae.
3And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4Esau loe Jakob hnuk hanah cawnh moe takop; tahnong ah takoih moe, anih to mok; to pacoengah loe qah hoi hmaek.
4And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
5Esau mah khet naah, nongpatanawk hoi a caanawk to hnuk; nang hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Jakob mah, Nihcae loe Sithaw mah na tamna khaeah tahmenhaih hoi paek ih kaminawk ni, tiah a naa.
5And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said: 'Who are these with thee?' And he said: 'The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant.'
6To pacoengah a tamna hnik hoi a caanawk to angzoh o moe, anih hmaa ah akuep o.
6Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
7To pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk doeh anih khaeah angzoh o moe, akuep o; hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to angzoh hoi moe, a hmaa ah akuep hoi toeng.
7And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed down; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed down.
8Esua mah, Ka hnuk ih moinawk loe tih sak han ih aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka angraeng, na tahmenhaih ka hnuk thai hanah, nang hanah kang sinh pae, tiah a naa.
8And he said: 'What meanest thou by all this camp which I met?' And he said: 'To find favour in the sight of my lord.'
9Toe Esau mah, Kam nawk, Kai doeh ka tawnh mang bae, nangmah hanah mah suem ah, tiah a naa.
9And Esau said: 'I have enough; my brother, let that which thou hast be thine.'
10Jakob mah, Tahmenhaih hoiah na talawk paeh; na tahmenhaih ka tongh nahaeloe, ka sinh ih tangqum hae na talawk pae ah; na mikhmai ka hnuk hae, Sithaw mikhmai hnuk baktiah ni oh, na mikhmai panhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
10And Jacob said: 'Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favour in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11Nang han kang sinh ih taham ka hoihaih tangqumnawk hae na talawk pae ah, Sithaw mah ang tahmen pongah, ka ngaihaih boih ka tawnh boeh, tiah a naa. Jakob mah paek pae khruek pongah, Esau mah talawk pae.
11Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.' And he urged him, and he took it.
12To naah Esau mah, Caeh o si, kholong caeh amsak o si boeh, tiah a naa.
12And he said: 'Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.'
13Toe Jakob mah, Ka angraeng, nawktanawk loe saning nawk o vop moe, tapen kangtha tuu hoi maitawnawk doeh ka khetzawn han oh, tito na panoek; nito thung karangah ka caeh haih nahaeloe, moinawk hae dueh o boih tih.
13And he said unto him: 'My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
14To pongah ka angraeng nang loe, na tamna hmaa ah caeh halat ah; kai loe moinawk to amzai ah huih moe, nawktanawk hoi nawnto ka angraeng ohhaih Seir mae ah amzaita hoi kang zoh han, tiah a naa.
14Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant; and I will journey on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.'
15Esau mah, To tih nahaeloe kaimah ih kaminawk ahap kang caehtaak han, tiah a naa. Toe Jakob mah, Na koehhaih baktiah ka oh nahaeloe, tih han ih nihcae to caehtaak han angai tih loe? tiah a naa.
15And Esau said: 'Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me.' And he said: 'What needeth it? let me find favour in the sight of my lord.'
16To pongah to na niah Esau loe Seir prae ah amlaem let.
16So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17Toe Jakob loe Sukkoth ah caeh, ohhaih ahmuen maeto a sak, angmah ih maitawnawk ohhaih im doeh a sak pae; to pongah to ahmuen to Sukkoth, tiah ahmin paek.
17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

19Shekem ampa Hamor caanawk khae ih long to, phoisa cumvaito hoiah a qanh moe, to ahmuen ah ataihaih kahni im to a sak.
19And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
20To ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak pacoengah, El-Elohe-Israel, tiah ahmin sak.
20And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
